Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 -inch-thick bone-in pork chops (2 to 2 3/4 pounds), fat trimmed
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 12 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch scallions, whites sliced, greens cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Cornbread, for serving (optional)

Method

  • Season the pork chops with salt and pepper; sprinkle all over with 1 1/2 tablespoons flour.
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Working in 2 batches, add the chops and cook until golden and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side, adding 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet between batches.
  • Transfer the chops to a plate and keep warm.
  • Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet; add the mushrooms, garlic, scallion whites and a pinch of salt and cook, without stirring, until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the remaining 1/2 tablespoon flour and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft, about 3 more minutes.
  • Stir in the chicken broth and sour cream, bring to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens, about 1 more minute.
  • Divide the pork chops among plates.
  • Drizzle any juices from the pork into the gravy; stir in the scallion greens and parsley.
  • Season with salt and pepper; spoon over the pork.
  • Serve with cornbread.
